This SoftPaq creates a bootable diskette that updates particular Seagate hard drives to fix a potential miscompare issue due to caching and a 1790 issue.

The update autodetects all hard drives currently installed. If it finds a Seagate hard drive that has a firmware revision older than contained in this program, it automatically updates the firmware. Upon completion of all required modifications, the user will be informed that the computer must be power cycled.

This firmware update is a non-destructive update. User data is not affected.

DriverGuide's installer software (Windows only) simplifies the driver installation process. It safely downloads and verifies your driver and then assists in the installation of it.

You may notice that the file size of the installer software is much smaller than the file size of your actual driver. The reason is that first the installer setup file is downloaded, and then the installer software does the work of fetching
your driver from our fastest download server.

The installer setup file has been certified safe by leading-class virus and malware scanners.

Sometimes anti-virus software can report false positives. If this happens to you, we encourage you to submit the file you download to VirusTotal (a free, independent service which identifies malicious content) where you will see dozens of other anti-virus scanners report the file is perfectly safe.

The installer setup file may include a purely optional advertising offer which you are free to decline. We only work with trusted advertising partners.
